Quickly Transmigrate: I am the Heroine in a Bloody and Abusive Story

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw a group of five people who looked like immortals, and they knew that they were monks sent by Liuyun Sect. They quickly opened the city gate and led the five people all the way to the government office.

While Ni Fang was memorizing the route, he was secretly observing the situation in the city.

The originally bustling streets were now deserted, and the few pedestrians who came and went all looked ashen, looking like they were overthinking and not in good health. At the same time, every household had white lanterns and ghost-suppressing talismans written in yellow cinnabar hanging in front of their doors, but these ghost-suppressing talismans really had no spiritual power and looked like they were about to break in the wind.

Chen Jingjing asked the soldier who was leading the way several questions, but was rejected by him. He only said that they would be able to explain it more clearly after meeting the county magistrate.

Ni Fang couldn't help but nodded. He never said anything before his boss spoke. This was the awareness of being a subordinate.

Walking all the way to the government office, the vermilion gate was already a bit dilapidated, and some spider webs could be vaguely seen on the beams. Just like in front of the doors of ordinary people, there were white lanterns and ghost-suppressing talismans hanging in front of the government office.

"Finally you are here. Immortals, please come into the mansion and have a chat." County Magistrate Duan received the news early in the morning and was standing in front of the door waiting anxiously. When he saw Luo Haisheng and others, his eyes were shining with excitement.

The expression doesn't seem fake.

"You are too polite, magistrate. My last name is Luo, and this is Junior Sister Chen, Junior Brother Zhuang, Junior Brother Feng, and Junior Sister Ni."

"Okay, okay, Brother Luo, please follow me first. I will tell you everything about Baishui Town in detail. The people in our city are all looking forward to you coming to save our Baishui Town from the dire situation!"

Everyone walked quickly into the main hall. As soon as Ni Fang sat down on the stool, he heard Magistrate Duan start speaking.

"The first strange thing that happened in Baishui Town started a year ago. A six-year-old girl went to play by the river during the day and didn't come home at night. Three days later, her family reported her missing to the county government. Because it was a girl, her family didn't care much. I sent out runners to search in the mountains for a long time, but they didn't find the girl or the body, so I closed the case as a missing person. But a few days later, someone else reported another case, also a six or seven-year-old girl missing."

"In just half a month, there were six or seven cases. I felt something was wrong at that time, and quickly looked through the recent files. I found that the common point was that all of them were girls under the age of fifteen, but the time and place of disappearance did not overlap. I sent out runners to search for them almost every day, in the nearby mountains, the surrounding official roads, and even in every alley in Baishui Town. But these girls seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace at all."

"During that period, girls went missing almost every day. At the most, there were even several missing cases reported in a single day. People came to the government office every day to complain, but what could I do? My official hat was almost gone. Tell me, how could such a thing happen to me? I am also diligent. Every citizen in Baishui Town calls me a great judge. I was supposed to be promoted next year and go to Jiangcheng. But now, with something like this happening, it would be a relief if I wasn't investigated."

Luo Haisheng watched Magistrate Duan go off topic, so he coughed and interrupted, "What happened next? When did you discover the evil spirits were causing trouble?"

County Magistrate Duan said, "About two months ago, someone in Baishui Town saw a ghost in red clothes and long hair wandering around the city in the middle of the night. Word spread that there was a ghost that specifically captured girls in the city. I quickly sent people to Liuyun Sect to ask the immortals for help. Catching ghosts is not something that mortals like us can do."

Luo Haisheng then asked, "I saw many families with white lanterns and ghost-suppressing talismans hanging at their doorsteps along the way. Are these the families with missing girls?"

Magistrate Duan nodded and said, "The white lanterns are lit for the missing girls. I hope that when they are reincarnated, they will know how to go and not become wandering ghosts. To be honest, there are almost no girls under the age of ten in the entire Baishui City. Even my little daughter... Oh, it makes me sad to say this. The remaining girls are not favored by their families. When outsiders hear about this, they are unwilling to marry their daughters here. Baishui Town has not had any marriages for a long time. If the evil spirits are not eliminated, it will not be long before Baishui Town becomes a dead city."

Chen Jingjing slapped her thigh and said loudly, "Don't worry, our disciples from Liuyun Sect will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely help you find this damned accomplice!"

"Brother Chen is so courageous!"

This is what County Magistrate Duan had been waiting for. Matters concerning demons and monsters should have been handled by these monks, so his position as an official was saved.

Zhuang Chunshan and Feng Manlin also made some promises and said a few polite words.

"Then I'll rely on you all. I still have some files to deal with, so I'll leave first. You can come and go in the government office as you please. I've also prepared five guest rooms in the backyard. Please feel free to use them."

Ni Fang didn't say anything for a long time. The original plot didn't actually describe what happened to the missing girls. It only wrote that Lin Yi tried his best to chop off the head of the snake demon Luan Cui and became a young genius praised by everyone.

He didn't feel anything at that time, but now he is there, putting himself in the shoes of Baishui Town. He just hopes to know the whereabouts of those girls, even if it is just finding their bodies.

It was getting dark, and it was time for the evil spirits to go out and act around.

Luo Haisheng divided the five people into two groups. "Junior Sister Ni and I will start from the south of the government office, and the three of you will start from the north. If you find any traces of the ghosts, send us a signal. Remember not to alert them."

There was nothing wrong with Luo Haisheng's arrangement. The person with the highest cultivation level led the person with the lowest cultivation level. Even Chen Jingjing had no objection. She just glared at Ni Fang before leaving. She probably thought she was a burden to Senior Brother Luo Haisheng.

"Let's go." Luo Haisheng said concisely.

"Oh, here it comes."

Ni Fang ran two steps quickly and followed Luo Haisheng. Although she knew that nothing would happen tonight, it was still safer to follow Luo Haisheng closely.

After nightfall, the whole town becomes even more eerie.

Ni Fang couldn't help but tighten his grip on the hilt of the Cold Light Sword.

Luo Haisheng turned over his palm, and a glowing compass lay quietly on his palm.

"What is this?" Ni Fang couldn't help but ask.

"This is a low-level item that I made when I was learning how to refine weapons. It doesn't have a name yet, but it can detect nearby demonic and ghostly auras to a certain extent."

"Awesome." Ni Fang couldn't help but give a thumbs up. While she was still practicing hard, the top student was already able to refine equipment independently.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Me?" Ni Fang's eyes widened. She didn't understand why Luo Haisheng kept asking her what she thought. "This is my first mission, and I don't have much experience in catching monsters. Just listen to me, brother."

"What I mean is," Luo Haisheng raised the compass in his hand, "give it a name."
